Whipping recalls old Choctaw punishment custom
In Muskogee dated December 27, a recent whipping at Antlers Oklahoma, hometown of Major Victor M. Locke Jr., stirred memories of Choctaw justice. The piece recalls the 1899 public thrashing of a full blood for stealing a rooster setting hen, the lack of a Dominique term, and the three whipping posts at Alaikchi, the Boggy Forks, and south of Wilburton. It notes harsh laws: 100 lashes for first horse theft, then death for repeat offenses, and contrasts Cherokee hangings.
